Autumn Gardening! by Sharon Longshaw Well what a year we have had weather wise, we had a brief late summer and now we have autumn banging on the door! Some of my plants and shrubs are very confused, although luckily I’ve not lost anything, yet. I’m pretty sure we will be re-writing the gardening rule book for the UK in the coming years but for now I will stick with the norm. Now is the time to plant spring bulbs, plant tulip bulbs now, the cooler soil helps avoid the fungal disease ‘tulip fire’. Plant plump firm bulbs in containers or in a sunny spot at 2 - 3 times their own depth and double their width apart. Use them to fill gaps in beds and borders, in formal gardens, in pots and containers, under shrubs and trees or naturalised in grass or woodland. If you are planting them in borders, groups of 10 - 25 between perennials give the best effect. Try smaller flowered species tulips at the front of borders or in rock gardens - unlike the more familiar larger flowered hybrids which are best replaced each year, these little gems can be left in the ground to flower year after year. For a natural look, throw handfuls of bulbs in the air and plant them where they land. Remember to raise containers off the ground containers can become waterlogged if left on the ground so raise

them where possible on feet, tiles or even bricks. If cold weather looks likely try and lag pots and containers as even if the plant is hardy, root systems above ground may not survive. Divide hardy perennials such as daylilies, Michaelmas daisies and golden rod. Cut them down to 4”, dig them up and divide carefully. If your soil is heavy clay, leave this job until springtime. All other perennials are also best left until the spring, especially peonies which dislike being split in cold weather and grasses. Cut back ornamental grasses and bamboos; if the latter are thick enough, the canes can be used as supports next season. Less hardy perennials - do not cut back the less hardy perennials such as penstemoms and hardy fuchsias more than a third - the dead stems should afford some protection for the crowns in severe weather. In colder areas, mulch with composted bark or something similar and leave cutting them back fully until they begin to shoot from the base in spring.

GUARANTEED RESULTS

BOOTCAMP

Vicky Hitchens - 07779 646945 www.fatlossbootcampessex.co.uk

5 Steps to Looking & Feeling Fabulous! Have you ‘fallen off the wagon’ with your diet lately and need to get back to eating healthily again? These are the ‘Guaranteed Results Bootcamp steps’ you need to take to lose weight, feel fab and look amazing:

1. Get Breakfast Right!

Breakfast is so important in kicking your body off the right way each day. Eat the wrong thing and it will be an uphill battle to drop fat & feel great, but get it right & it’ll be a breeze! Did you know, what you have for breakfast will determine what foods you’ll crave for the rest of the day as well as determine whether your body will want to ‘store fat’ or ‘burn fat’ throughout the day… A breakfast high in carbohydrates will make you reach for the biscuit tin by the time elevenses comes around because sugar at breakfast = sugar cravings all day. Plus, eating a ‘high carb’ breakfast will release hormones to ‘store fat’ rather than ‘burn fat’. What should be avoided at breakfast:

• Cereal • Toast • Fruit on its own (have fruit with some nuts or seeds & sprinkled with cinnamon)

What to have instead:

• Scrambled egg / omelette with a mixture of veggies. • Avocado halved & topped with prawns & chopped tomatoes and drizzled with lemon juice. • Boiled eggs with lightly steamed asparagus spears dipped in (wrap them in smoked salmon for a treat) • Quinoa & almond milk is a great cereal replacement, topped with some nuts nuts & berries.

2. Drink Up! Water that is! You need to be drinking at least 3 litres of water a day for optimum health. Plus, your body WILL NOT burn fat if it is even a tiny bit dehydrated.

3. Eat your greens!

I can’t emphasise enough just how crucial veggies are to maintaining a healthy, happy body. They fill you up… They’re full of nutrients… They contain essential vitamins & minerals for your body to function effectively…

4. Ditch the junk!

Chocolate, sweets, crisps, biscuits, cakes, ready meals are all loaded

Maintenance Direct FREE QUOTES

FULLY INSURED

with sugars, salt, sweeteners, e numbers & bad fats that will leave you feeling sluggish, fat, tired & lethargic.

5. Get moving!

Diet without exercise doesn’t work, neither does exercise without the right diet. You need to choose the right exercise to give your metabolism a boost! 20-30mins of the right exercise will work far better than 45-60mins of the wrong exercise. In fact, do the wrong exercise & you could even make your body store fat! Exercise needs to be high intensity & working HARD for a short period of time. Pacing yourself for long periods of time (like jogging) will not help you drop fat at all. I have free workout videos and healthy recipes for you on my Facebook Page: facebook.com/ guaranteedresultsbootcamp So there you have it, follow these five steps and you will be well on your way to looking & feeling fabulous in just 14 days!

Bon Fire Night

Essex Police wants everyone to have a fun and stay safe on Bonfire Night, but will take action against anyone who breaks the law or uses the occasion as an excuse for crime and anti-social behaviour. Fireworks are dangerous explosives and police have vowed to take a tough stance against shopkeepers who sell them to under-18s and anyone who uses or possesses them illegally. Those who ignore the law could find themselves facing a fine of up to £5,000 and/or a prison sentence. Officers can stop and search anyone they suspect may have prohibited fireworks and issue fines or fixed penalty notices to people who throw fireworks in the street.

Remember, it is illegal to: • Sell fireworks without a licence • Sell adult fireworks to underage people – that means any firework other than caps, cracker snaps and indoor fireworks • Possess adult fireworks in any public place if you are under 18 • Set off or throw fireworks in the street • Launch fireworks anytime between 11pm and 7am except during certain celebrations and at national and local authority displays. On Bonfire Night itself, November 5, fireworks can be set off until midnight. A spokesman said: “Bonfire Night is a great evening but people must understand the dangers of fireworks. We would encourage people to go to organised displays but if they decide to hold their own display, they should follow the Firework Code.”

Here are a few things to remember: • • • • • •

Supervise children with sparklers and never give them to a child aged under five Never drink alcohol if you are setting off fireworks Never go back to a firework that has been lit – even if it hasn’t gone off it could still explode Put sparklers hot end down into a bucket of water or sand Never put fireworks in your pocket Never throw fireworks on to a bonfire
